"Believing Christians should look upon themselves as such a creative minority and ... espouse once again the best of its heritage, thereby being at the service of humankind at large." --Joseph Ratzinger

Professional atheist and jerk, PZ Myers reveals the full blackness of his soul.

First, never quote Mother Teresa at me — she was an evil hag who worshipped poverty, who did not help people except to encourage them to suffer more for her faith, while she lived in comfort and traveled far and wide to receive the accolades of the gullible. I would never find the words of that wicked woman persuasive.

Secondly, the standard bullying tactics of waving bloody fetuses might cow the squeamish, but I'm a biologist. I've guillotined rats. I've held eyeballs in my hand and peeled them apart with a pair of scissors. I've used a wet-vac to clean up a lake of half-clotted blood from an exsanguinated dog. I've opened bodies and watched the intestines do their slow writhing dance, I've been elbow deep in blood, I've split open cats and stabbed them in the heart with a perfusion needle. I've extracted the brains of mice…with a pair of pliers. I've scooped brains out of buckets, I've counted dendrites in slices cut from the brains of dead babies.

You want to make me back down by trying to inspire revulsion with dead baby pictures? I look at them unflinchingly and see meat. And meat does not frighten me.

Aborted babies are just meat. Monster.

I have not included a link for obvious reasons. You want to see the original, google it.

I think he doesn't have the will to action to be a psychopath-- he's just a pathetic troll saying whatever will get him attention, ready to back down the second it might actually in any way hurt his lifestyle.

I don't know what he considers unborn children to be, but he's the kind of guy that can kill someone in cold blood and then lick the knife. He takes pleasure in carving bodies (human or otherwise) the same way that a bloodthirsty military commander of antiquity enjoys seeing an opponent on the battlefield be carved up with his guts spilling out.

I don't think anyone could ever classify this blasphemer as lukewarm. He was good when God made him, but now he is in the pits of darkness and spiritual death. He needs more than prayer; he needs fasting while time remains! Following Bl. Mother Teresa's example, what sufferings shall we offer on his behalf?

Mother Theresa lived in comfort? She made people poor? Why does the Indian government then hold her in such high regard?

Also if babies are just meat, then why worry about the humility and focus on non-material wealth Mother Theresa promoted? If she held the hands of the dying instead of spending her entire budget on a dozen persons to only see them die anyway - why bother? They're just meat anyway. There are plenty more of them. I also don't see him building hospitals in India or anywhere else for that matter. Terminally ill people need support and that's what she gave. This guy can't be intelligent, never mind good.

Although you are all right to express disgust at his words you should all remember that as Catholics you should still remember he is still God's son too and loved by Him just the same. We are called to love everyone, which means we should want what's best for everyone, and the best thing for this man is that you should just pray for him.

I don't approve of what he said either but try not to forget that you should all set a good example, even on the Internet, of what being Catholic is about, and rejecting the man's humanity publicly, instead of just deploring his words, is not that.

As some have noted, atheism, as the "positive assertion of a negative in the absolute," requires that the adherent, in asserting the lack of the Deity, must lay claim on the very characteristics of Divinity (namely, omniscience). The most ardent proponents of atheism, particularly Neitzsche, have desired to see man take the place of God.

Given the inherent plug to pride that such a position must take, it is not surprising in the least that some will come to divide humanity neatly into themselves (the gods with a very small 'g') and the meat.

If the philosophies we live around and breath in as our air are poisonous, why are we surprised to find ourselves so sick?

IMO he'll make his own Hell on earth by continuing to spew such garbage. What sane or rational human would want his company? Only those deranged by hatred in a similar fashion would seek him out. Thats where Hell comes in, he'll have only the company of his own kind.

God have mercy on them all as they ostracize themselves from the human race.

The wages of sin are death; not just physical. Spiritual and moral. Sadly, PZ Myers is not going to be at a loss for blind companions in this world who are out-of-touch with their spiritual deaths. (Jesus can resurrect.)

I don't appreciate ThereWasaDream's remonstrance. I don't think that people were rejecting PZ's humanity or his beloved status by God. I think they were, thanks be to God, vividly and appropriately expressing disgust over his conclusions. Spare me the holier than thous... silence begets evil, and I am relieved to know I'm not alone in my shock. God help us the day we don't respond passionately.

Why did this guy go into biology, the study of living things, when he views the most evolved species on this planet as 'meat'?

Outside of his views of the Catholic Church, he also makes a poor college professor. Who wants to be taught the living sciences, by a man brags he has no value for any living creature, other then for his experiments?

As either a professional colleague or a student, Catholic or not, I would be upset such a man would be considered an academic. This man has no business teaching something he does not care about.

I know many farmers and ranchers that spend their entire lives dealingwith all manner of bloody 'realness' and none of them would ever seeonly meat if they saw a mangled baby. Some crucial part of Myers' soulseems to be missing.

Just reading the excerpts posted above, I'm getting that he has contempt for those who differ with his views, he is indifferent to the suffering ofothers, takes some perverse pride in the gore he has worked with in the past, and delights in the attention he gets from saying the outrageous.He seems to be enraged by the idea that moral bounds apply to himself.Sociopath, anyone?

Perhaps his local law enforcement would be well advised to keep one eye on him in the future...

I think PZ "doth protest too much". I think he is secretly quite jealous/envious of Blessed Mother Teresa's strong religious faith that allowed her to do the good that she did and of others of faith who feel so strongly about human life. Let us pray for the healing he needs to learn to love again.
